HiTemp140-FP
PRODUCT USER GUIDE
Product Overview
The HiTemp140-FP is a durable, user-friendly high
temperature data logger featuring a long, flexible RTD
probe with a narrow diameter, making it ideal for use in
steam sterilization and lyophilization processes.
Commonly used for mapping, validation and monitoring of
high temperature surfaces, this stainless steel data logger
is available in several models. The flexible probe is coated
with PFA insulation and can withstand temperatures up to
260 °C (500 °F ) with an accuracy of ±0.1.
The HiTemp140-FP probe design is narrow and lightweight
making it ideal for placement within small vials, tubing,
test tube and other small diameter or delicate applications.
Because of the flexible probe, the risks of breakage (both
vial and probe) generally associated with stainless steel
probe loggers are diminished and the location and
placement of the probe is easy to manipulate.
The Trigger Settings feature of the HiTemp140-FP allows
users to configure high and low temperature thresholds
that when met or exceeded, will automatically start or stop
recording data to memory. This data logger is capable of
storing up to 65,536 date and time stamped readings and
features a non-volatile solid state memory which retains
data even if the battery becomes discharged.
Water Resistance
The HiTemp140-FP is rated IP68 and is fully submersible.
